mobile applications for higher education safety and security, launched
CAMPUS SENTINEL, a free mobile application for the iOS platform (iPhone,

confident that they have done their extensive research, and armed with
campus safety knowledge they can focus on their higher education as they
head off to campus in the fall.”

self-reported crime stats across years and locations, and view resources
on topics that include travel abroad safety; mental health needs;
